I think there was an inaverdent behavior change caused by #557603. dh_makeshlibs has always generated shlibs files for anything that looks like a legitimate shared library, no matter where it is located. However, before Peter's change, it ran dpkg-gensymbols and let it use its own search methods to find shared libraries -- which does only look in well known library directories. If this has the potential to break a lot of package's builds, I may need to revert that change and only enable it in the next compatability level. -- see shy jo
